Answer:
ΔT = 0.017 °C
Explanation:
According to the given condition, the change in internal energy of the block must be equal to 85% of its kinetic energy:
Change in Internal Energy = (0.85)(Kinetic Energy)
[tex]mC\Delta T = (0.85)\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\C\Delta T = (0.425)v^2\\\\\Delta T = \frac{0.425v^2}{C}[/tex]
where,
ΔT = increase in temperature = ?
v = speed of block = 4 m/s
C = specific heat capacity of copper = 389 J/kg.°C
Therefore,
[tex]\Delta T = \frac{(0.425)(4\ m/s)^2}{389}\\\\[/tex]
ΔT = 0.017 °C
